Franky35 won his second title and an amazing third in four years, defeating gritch in seven games. Franky35 won an incredible six elimination games on their way to the championship. Franky35 overcame six injuries in the final series and was led by Rob Deer, a mis-season pickup previously waived by another owner,. Deer hit 10 HR's in the playoffs. Sphilipp8 and Ed1447 were the other playoff participants.
Franky had a nailbiting season and came through when it mattered to win it all. In the regular season, Franky was down three games to daveaq with three to go but owned the tiebreaker and roughly a 1-64 chance of moving on as they were playing different opponents. The stars aligned and Franky swept while daveaq was also swept.
The next victim was Ed1447, who was up 3-2 in their best of seven series. Franky came back and won the next two games to advance to the championship series.
In the finals against gritch, Franky was up 3-2 after games but lost the sixth. In the seventh game, down three players to injury and a fourth early on, Franky nonetheless came through. The ending was dramatic as Franky was up 7-4 after two outs in the bottom of the ninth, an error was made by a 4-rated injury replacement 2b, then a walk, then a pitching change, then a walk to load the bases, then another walk to narrow the score to 7-5, then lefty specialist Eddie Guardado to face the hot-hitting Reggie Jefferson. Lefty hitting Jefferson was PH for by the lhp-dominating Chris Hoiles and, as HAL likes to do, Guardado faced him anyway. But Hoiles struck out on three pitches and that was that.
